My original idea was a stylish tag blanket. I bought a minky-style, pink star fabric for one side, and a lovely black and grey baroque-patterned (I think?) flannel for the other. I also chose an approximately 1" wide pink and white chevron ribbon, and a 1.5" wide silver and white baroque-style ribbon for the tags. Unfortunately I didn't even get a phone picture of the finished product, but this gives the basic idea and shows all the fabrics.
After making the blanket, I ended up having a lot of fabric left over. I was afraid I would never use it up, so I decided to see if I could throw together a little dress as well! I don't have any of my little girl dress patterns with me though, so I also decided to try my hand at creating something without a pattern. On top of that, I wanted to make it reversible. And once I got designing, I thought a contrasting band around the bottom edge was a cute idea as well! I really forgot how much I enjoy sewing and creating. I had a lot of fun creating it, and I think it turned out very cute.
But I still had a good bit of that pink minky fabric left over, even after the dress! So I immediately thought "Diaper cover! What baby girl dress is complete without a diaper cover?!" I was a lot more nervous about this idea though (still am, actually. Baby girl's not here yet, so I have no idea if it'll fit her!). Drafting pants is a lot more difficult than a basic dress. So, Pinterest. I found a pattern, and drew up the basic lines, and just decided to go for it. Hopefully it'll work for her. :)
